    Harley will be greatly missed. I had the privilege of working with him once in awhile. He liked talking about the Bible and I liked that. I pray that God comforts his family during this time of mourning and gives all the peace of God.

    LIza, Amanda, Family members. It is with heavy heart that Laurie and I give you our deepest condolences in this very difficult time of your lives.
    Harley and I Worked out our differences during classroom meetings, and had a very positive teacher / student relationship. In the spirit of fairness, the students themselves showed a tremendous amount of patience with me, as their teacher. It was hard at times, trying to work with so many head strong young individuals.
    I am with you all, in spirit as you mourn his passing.
    May God give you the strength to continue, as the days slowly pass on by.
    Peace be with you all.
    Frank & Laurie Valenzuela
